But I also think they're not quiet done with it, yet. I don't hate Elite ), I'm just disappointed that what they're doing with Horizons even when the initial release is so focused on the planets and little else, falls so short of what I would personally consider even just a good representation of planet surfaces on a ground level. Which makes it even more obvious where the planets in Elite are sub-par, because the target set by Outerra as well as actual photos we have from planet surfaces in our solar system shows that Elite's planet simply don't look remotely realistic up close. Outerra (or Anteworld?) does actually have a bit of a flight/driving sim included. If I were to be a bit evil, inaccurate and troll-y, I could claim Elite doesn't have either. They are comparable - or not unless Elite actually starts to beef up the techniques they use so their planet surfaces look like actual planet surfaces close up.Īs for not being a game - Outerra has no game logic, that is correct. The same thing is now done by Elite, but they generate their planet data themselves rather than using a predefined data set. Outerra is an engine for planet rendering.
